Is this the ' box they put in the R8?
I drove one a couple of months ago and it was a FANTASTIC car! It's the only test drive I have ever had where the salesman in the passenger seat was telling me to go faster! He even made me go round the route again so I could go into some of the bends much faster to prove the cars capabilties!
The paddle shift was tricky to get used to, but was worth it, but auto mode it was rubbish because of the delay in the manual box operating in auto mode.
